Compressed Air Energy Storage - WhatNext

Isothermal and Supercritical Compressed Air Energy Storage Systems

Compressed-air energy storage technology involves storing energy as pressurized air, with the system’s capacity depending on the size of the storage vessel, the pressure at which the air is held, and the temperature. Different types of CAES exist, including diabatic, adiabatic, isothermal, supercritical, micro, and underwater. Isothermal CAES is one of the major CAES systems, …

Solving the Energy Crisis and Plastic Pollution – Converting Waste Plastics into Biofuel for the Mobility Industry

Plastic-to-Biofuel Innovations Chemical Recycling Plastic-to-Biofuel: Global plastic waste is a major issue. Plastic waste’s durability causes it to become trapped for centuries in landfills and oceans, thereby creating a serious environmental crisis. The inefficiency of recycling processes, high recycling costs, and a lack of incentives actively contribute to the active recycling of only 9% of …

Aluminium-air Batteries and Lithium-air Batteries for EVs: A Comparison

Lithium-Air Batteries for EVs Lithium-air batteries (LABs) reduce oxygen from the air at the cathode and oxidises lithium metal at the anode to produce a current flow during discharge. The lithium-air battery can obtain oxygen from the air externally, removing the need for internal storage. This results in a higher energy density compared to that of …
